Orestes

Orestes

Pylades

Orestes

Orestes

Pylades
No, for hesitation is a grave mischief among friends.
Orestes
On then, pilot of my course!

Pylades

Orestes

Pylades
For what purpose?
Orestes
That I may appeal to him to save me.
Pylades
Yes, that is the proper way.
Orestes
May I not see my mother’s grave!
